“During the March 1 reunion taping, [host] Andy Cohen announced she was fired!” a show insider tells Life & Style.

But the announcement didn’t come as a surprise to Adrienne, who wasn’t even around to get the pink slip herself. “She knew if she didn’t show up to the reunion, she’d be cut,” the insider explains, “but she didn’t want to go and have to sit through all of the women attacking her.”

As Life & Style first reported last week, instead of choosing to war with archnemesis Brandi Glanville, 40, and relive the details of her painful divorce from Paul Nassif, 50, Adrienne took her sons, Gavin, 9, and twins Christian and Colin, 6, away to LA’s Mammoth Mountain for a peaceful playdate on the slopes.

On March 4, Adrienne confirmed the show news, noting, “It was time to exit RHOBH!”
